Selznick"), 18 pp, October 9, 1936, between Gaynor and Selznick International Pictures, for the use of Gaynor's services in the role of "Esther" in A Star is Born (1937) for the sum of $125,000, with compensation for further services detailed in the document, bound with staples in blue legal wrappers.

Under William Wellman's direction, Gaynor was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award®. 9 x 11.25 in.
